The Minnesota Timberwolves reached their first Western Conference finals in 20 years last season, then made one of the most controversial moves in franchise history by trading Karl-Anthony Towns. And now they're right back in the conference finals.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the youthful Oklahoma Thunder are on the verge of making the franchise’s first appearance in the Western Conference finals since 2016.

Jamal Murray didn’t quite guarantee a Game 7. He alluded to it, though, in between sips of his blueberry-colored postgame recovery smoothie. “Very confident,” the Denver Nuggets guard said of a return to Oklahoma City.

The Knicks’ Game 2 victory was the 26th 20-point comeback playoff victory in the NBA’s play-by-play era (since 1996-97), and the Pacers and Knicks are the only teams to complete two 20-point comebacks in the same postseason since 1998, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
